The EDSD is an eleven-month program that is offered every year, with the
goal to provide students in the first year of their doctoral studies
with an appropriate high-level education in demography. Students will
acquire a solid knowledge base on causes and consequences of demographic
change, population data, statistical and mathematical demography, as
well as modeling, simulation and forecasting. The School's courses are
structured in such a way that the students work on precise formulation
of a thesis topic and early steps of their dissertations. The language
of the School is English.
In the upcoming school year the School will be held at two different
locations. The preparatory courses (from early September to mid-October
2014) will be offered at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic
Research (http://www.demogr.mpg.de) in Rostock, Germany. The core
courses (from mid-October 2014 to end of July 2015) will be held at the
Institute of Statistics and Demography, Warsaw School of Economics,
Poland.
The EDSD does not charge fees. Several European research institutes and
universities provide full fellowships for all students accepted to the
program.
The application deadline is April 15, 2014.
